Are those software numbers excluding digital? Must be or that's quite a drop.

 Factor in another ~3-4m for the PS4 in december, that ll mean its a 19m+ year (more than I expected).

The hardware chart is already at December 8 and probably overtracked for the PS4 (at least in the US)

More than I expected too. Also means it can end last year at 92M+.......

92M in a little over 5yrs... thats gotta be some sort of record.

Not quite, DS shipped 100 million in 4 years & 4 months.

I strongly doubt we can in way way compare a handheld to a home console, especially when the nature of handhelds sales are very different to that of home consoles. And I don't think there are may if at all way other home consoles that has accomplished the same feat. Except maybe the Wii? Not sure about that one.....

Looking at just home consoles

Wii was at 94.97 million shipments at the end of 2011 (5 years, 1 month) so essentially tied with PS4. PS4 will pass Wii and never look back soon.

PS2 is a bit tricky since it had a staggered launch but it was 100 million as of Nov 30 2005, 5 years after western launch and 5 years, 8 months after Japanese launch. If we align regional launches than it's also probably pretty close.

PS2, Wii & PS4 all shipped ~95 million in ~5 years.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

And after 6 it will probably be over 117m possibly before the PS5 is even announced. That would be crazy.

I think it's crazy how the 3DS sold like Wii U average numbers, in its 8th year on the market. I think it could leg out to 78-80 million. Definitely will pass the 75m milestone.

I'm interested to see if 3ds can beat psp. It's losing momentum fast but you never know.

No digital included.

You could have put the attach ratio as well.

And PS4 still comfortably 3M in the lead... with Switch needing to cut about 1M per week on the difference. Don't think it's likely.

Yeah, the PS4 kept banking wins every week this year, and built up quite a comfortable lead. I think we all knew it would be close either way with the Switch's projected finish to the year. It's still not over, but PS4 should take the 2018 crown.

At least we will have some good weeks of discussion on VGC regarding sales for once.
